A quick trip to "The Mountain"

Saturday we went to the Snowflake temple with Jared and Lisa.
All our kids stayed with Grandma Lucy, which was very convenient since she lives nearby.



Lisa & Jared:



Then we went to the Larsen's ward Christmas party and enjoyed dinner, making gingerbread houses, a talent show, and a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

John-John and John sang a duet.

Marlee with her gingerbread house that didn't last very long.

Michael and Michael with their creation.

Jennette sang with a group.

Clayton, Mason, Pearce, and Porter building/eating their gingerbread houses.

Shelby and Anna sang a duet.

Porter, Pearce, and Clayton = a 3 stack

Grandma Lucy almost always has a full lap of grand kids.

Marlee's face pretty much looked like this the whole time- she ate sugar non-stop.

Jared and Lisa's kids:

Our kids- Marlee's face got sadder and sadder the longer she sat on Santa's lap.

Laun helping Marlee break into her treat bag from Mrs. Claus.

The boys going through their treats- they all liked trying the war head candies.

Marlee made the funniest faces when she tried the war head candy (they are SO sour).

Bob (as John likes to call her, for Bob Marley) giving Uncle John a kiss.

We spent the night at Jeff and Lucy's home then headed home Sunday morning.
